Reports in Russia have linked West Ham United with a move for Congolese defender Christopher Samba.

The 29-year-old currently plays for Dynamo Moscow but made his name in England with Blackburn Rovers.

Samba returned to Russia in the summer after a brief spell with Queens Park Rangers. He joined Anzhi Makhachkala before switching to Dynamo.

However, he is believed to be unsettled in Russia and a move to England could be on the cards.
